You can still use table parameters, but, unless you are using RFCs, you should use IMPORT, EXPORT or CHANGING parameters that are defined to a table type.

1. Create a structure in SE11, this will include all the fields you want.

2. Create a Table type in SE11, referring the above structure as the row type.

3. Now, when you use this table type you would need to have a work area to process the data of the table. So, in the program declare a variable with ref to the structure created in Step 1.

Then you can use

LOOP AT T_ITAB INTO WA_ITAB.

ENDLOOP.

where T_ITAB is referring to table type and WA_ITAB is referring to structure.

Hi Kavitha,

Tables parameter is obsolete in ECC 6.0.

As a replacement, Create a table type in Se11 of the type internal table.

Now when you are decalring the internal table in Changing parameter give the reference of that table type.

Create another work area in the source code of function module.

Now loop the Internal table as usual.

Hope this will help.
